I think if you ask 100 people what their default "search" is, you'll get 120 different answers. I don't think any solution is going to work for everyone. IMHO, the most reasonable solution would be remembering the last used search criteria and default to that next time. -derek On Wed, November

A bit tangential to the issue of reconciliation is that fundamentally IMV reconciliation means to marry up (aka reconcile) the physical periodic (monthly/quarterly/annually) bank statements *against* your own books which carry the canonical data which hopefully supports your financial activity.
